Ohio Wreck.
PIrTsBURG, February 20th.-The Posts
Tiffin (Ohio) special says: The investiga-
tion of the great Baltimore and Ohio wreck
of January 4th has drawn TO an end finally,
and tomorrow morning the verdict will be
rendered by Coroner Sepper. The verdic,is
a very lengthy document, OF which the fol-

served tonight. The Coroner first finds
that VIM. Fr adericks, of Holgate, O.; ]. N.

Joseph Postlethwaite, Henry Posilethwsite

Thomas o. Pemberton, of Payne, Ohio /;
Alery b. Ice, of Penfeld. III; J, S
Gsrtner, of Mechanicsyille, Iowa, and
others, whose names are unknown, came
to their death by collision of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad one-half mile
west of the village of Republic, January 4,
1887, at 3 o'clock A. NJ. He also finds that
freight engine No. 923 was in an unsafe
and unserviceable condition, and thar the
officials of the road had been notified of
this fact, but still allowed it to be used.
The engineer of the freight train, Edward
S. Killer, was not intoxicated as charged
but was worn out with sixteen hours and

green fireman and poor engine He had
plenty of time to get to Republic from
Seneca siding-thirty minutes for ten
miles-but his engine was SO poor and
leaked so that the fires were put out
and it died on the track at the point of the
collision. The conductor of the freight,
L. f. Fletcher, failed in his duty for not
tagging the limited express, for he knew
the engine had died ten minutes before
the express was due. The brakes on the
express were inferior and ineffective, for
they failed to diminish the speed of fortv-
three miles an hour more than one-half in
a distance of 1000 feet. The manner of
heating and lighting the express cars was
inferior, unsafe and dangerous, and con-
trary to the laws of the State of Ohio. Had
the lighting and heating been proper, the
car would not have burned, and the loss of
life would have been very light.
The r. instatement OF DIR. McGiynn.
New YORK, February 20th.-The belief
that DR.. McGlynn will be reinstated in St.
Stephens Church was the topic of conver-
sation among the parishioners ofthe church
to- day. 1t is said that DR.. McGlynn has
received letters, not only from many Ro-
man Catholic priests in this country and
in Europe, but has also letters from several
Cardinals and Bishops, commencing his
course and approving his strength
of purpose in holding TO his
opinions on property in land, which
trines of the Church. The theory now en-
tertained by DR.. McGlynn's is, that he will
be reinstated as pastor of st. Stephens
that he will return to his home in the rec
tory, ard that he will then go to Rome.
He will never 20 10 Rome, it is said unless
he goes as pastor of st. Stephens. The re-
instatement of the doctor, it is believed,
will take place before April 10th, which is
Easter Sunday. DR.. McGlynn's health is
steadily improving, and he now goes out
daily. The masses were not largely at
tended to-day and the collections were
small.
Political Sensation in Georgia.
CHICAGO, February 20th.-The Times At
lanta (Ga.) special of February 18th says
The sensation of the hour is row between
Captain English, who was one OF the prin-
cipal champions of General Gordon elec-
ton to the Gubernatorial chair, and the
Governor himself, to-day. English is a
leading lessee of convicls. Recently the
Governor has shown disposition to fight
these lessees by holding them TO an ex-
tremely rigid accountability. Yesterday
he issued some orders about Captain Eng
